England could have been 2 scores clear at half time v Ireland, but Irish defense and degree of sloppiness from England kept Ireland in it. Then you have the van den Flier try that should have been coupled with Nowells brilliant tackle that stopped a certain Henshaw score, and there wasn't a lot between England winning and losing that game against quite an inexperienced Ireland side. BUT, and I said this before the game, I couldn't see them losing it given the 6 months they've had. Same kinda goes for this weekend. Wales, in Twickers, again. England will be very fired up, and they'll be a better coached side then they were the last time.
Still though, the Wales center pairing and backrow unit could do a job on England. Stop Billy V, and you stop England making yards. Wales need to get a graphic designer to mock up an image of Dylan effing Hartley hoisting the 6N trophy and plaster it on the dressing room wall. That should be motivation enough for anybody.
Feels good to dislike England again

If it wasn't for Mike Brown and Owen Farrell there'd be nothing to like about that England team....

So true, they've been fairly shit for 10 years too so it's been like hating an ugly puppy. England need some arseholes in the team, Brown, Farrel and Hartley are good for that, as is Lawes. I don't think Vunipola wil, have quite the same impact as a fortnight ago, we'll target him which will open space for other players, great player. Needs to up his fitness a touch more.

Tuilagi is back but I'd expect him to start on the bench. I'm surprised they have dropped Goode though.
It depends how you use him. I'm not sure you want him to start, but tired defenders are definitely not going to want to see him come off the bench after 60 minutes.
It's probably similar to Mako Vunipola. He has drawbacks as a starter but he's great off the bench.
